Some Americans hope Biden's state of the union will pledge more action against Russia

For Virginia resident Erin Boyle, U.S. President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address on Tuesday night must go beyond reciting the actions he’s already taken against Russia since it invaded Ukraine last week.

Boyle said Biden needs to outline the other tough measures he has in the works to punish Russia. He could begin with cracking down on Russia’s wealthy oligarchs, she said.
